Throwback Thursdays: Violent Femmes

This past weekend my son and I played at the Grand Re-Opening of Exile on Main Street records and Dandelion vintage clothing shop. I asked him to pick a cover for us to play and he chose this one. Here are the Femmes live (from the early 90's). Enjoy.

Madhouse Mondays: Bonobo

Here's a live vid from Bonobo. This shit is beautiful. Let's allow the orgainic and digital to live together. Let's be all things.

Feel Good Fridays: Tom Petty

I played this song at a private party on the 4th - seemed appropriate.

Feel Good Fridays: Davina and the Vagabonds

Tonight, Davina and the Vagabonds roll through our fair cities for a free outdoor concert. Equal parts Amy Winhouse and Squirrel Nut Zippers, they are sure to send us stomping through the prairies all night long. Dig.

Throwback Thursdays: Prince

Last weekend I slow danced with my wife to "Nothing Compares 2 U" (performed by Brandon T. Washington). We all remember that as a Sinead O'Conner song. Most of you know that it was written by Prince. Here's the purple one himself along with Mary J. Blige puttin' a hurt on you. Dig.
